Techniques for First Responders Called to
Help Crime Victims Who Have Disabilities

VICTIMS WITH DISABILITIES: Collaborative,
Multidisciplinary First Response - This 77 minute film is divided into
chapters (each about 7 minutes long for use at roll call trainings),
providing description and demonstration of the essential factors in
interviewing and interacting with individuals with cognitive and
communication disabilities when they roll out to the scene. Individuals with
disabilities actively participate in teaching the viewer how to best
interact with them. Simulations of a crime were used to help demonstrate
these interviewing and interaction techniques for individuals with
significant disabilities.
